I applied the patch but dropped the three lines above because these
are unchanged from the defaults.  Note that the RHS of these variable
assignments are inside single quotes, so they are not expanded in the
configure script.  You don't need to repeat them just because you
changed the value of SHLEXT in the configure script (for example).

OK.
